国内首见三株棘状外瓶霉的研究

作者研究了国内首见的三株棘状外瓶霉[Exophiala spinifera(Nielsen et Conant)McGinms],观察了菌落形态,研究了此菌在光学显微镜下和扫描电镜下的特点,并作了外抗原试验。在光学显微镜下,本菌有暗色长棘状的分生孢子梗。在扫描电镜下,有很长的环痕梗,其尖端的环痕数目可达30个以上。有的环痕梗和甄氏外瓶霉[Exophiala jeanselmei(Langeron)McGinnis et Padhye]的环痕梗很相似。有些酵母样细胞上也可产生短的环痕产孢尖端。有一株菌的产孢细胞顶端有几个突起的环痕产孢尖端,呈假单轴性排列。另一株菌产生瓶梗。因此考虑此菌是一种多形性真菌。外抗原试验,一株菌符合棘状外瓶霉,另二株菌符合外瓶霉。

Poly(β-<Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">l</Emphasis>-malic acid) (PMLA) from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Aureobasidium</Emphasis> spp. and its current proceedings

Poly(β-l-malic acid) is one natural biopolymer that has the outstanding features of biocompatibility, biodegradability, water solubility, and non-immunogenicity, and it is easily chemically modified. So poly(β-l-malic acid) (PMLA) and its derivatives may have a great potential application as a novel drug delivery system and in the production of advanced biomaterials which have attracted so much research attention. The fungi of Aureobasidium spp. have been discovered to be the most suitable candidates for PMLA production in large quantities which satisfy the demand of either research or industry. In this review, we will give an overall summary about the PMLA produced by Aureobasidium spp. based on related research in the last decades and the elaboration of this PMLA producer will also be accomplished. More importantly, the latest proceedings will be specified and some suggestions to the elucidation of a PMLA biosynthesis pathway which remains undefined up to date will be proposed. Finally, through this review, the further exploitation for the application of PMLA from Aureobasidium spp. can be emphasized and promoted.     

Fungi associated with dried fish in Sri Lanka

The mycoflora of dried-salted fish from markets in Kandy, Sri Lanka was studied with emphasis on visibly spoiled dried fish. A total of 61 fungal isolates from 25 dried-fish were isolated and identified. The most prevalent fungus wasAspergillus niger. Species ofAspergillus flavus, A. fumigatus, A. glaucus, A. restrictus, Aureobasidium spp.Basipetospora halophila (a genuinely halophilic fungus)Cladosporium herbarum, Gliomastix, spp.,Penicillium chalybeum andPenicillium expansum were present. The isolated fungi did not grow in synthetic media containing more than 30% sodium chloride.Aureobasidium spp. andGliomastix spp. did not grow on dried-fish under laboratory conditions. The protective exoskeleton appeared to prevent fungal growth on dried shrimp. TheA. flavus strains isolated were not aflatoxigenic.     

Production of fructooligosaccharides by crude enzyme preparations of β-fructofuranosidase from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Aureobasidium pullulans</Emphasis>

Fructooligosaccharides (FOS) were produced from sucrose by using crude enzyme preparations of β-fructofuranosidases (FFases) obtained from sucrose-cultured cells of Aureobasidium pullulans DSM 2404. When the preparation mainly consisted of FFase I, that has high transfructosylating activity, the FOS yield was 62%. When the reaction was carried out with additional commercial glucose isomerase (GI) at an activity ratio of FFase and GI of 1:2, the maximum FOS yield reached 69%. This value was higher than those obtained previously using other Aureobasidium spp. (53–59%).     

Aureobasidium pullulans as a source of liamocins (heavy oils) with anticancer activity

Liamocins are structurally unique, heavier-than-water “oils” produced by certain strains of Aureobasidium pullulans. The aim of the current study is to identify new sources of liamocins and evaluate their potential as anticancer agents. Nine strains of A. pullulans from phylogenetic clades 8, 9, and 11 were examined for the first time for production of liamocins. Strains in these clades have only been isolated from tropical environments, and all strains tested here were from various locations in Thailand. Strains RSU 9, RSU 21, and RSU 29, all from clade 11, produced from 7.0 to 8.6 g liamocins/l from medium containing 5 % sucrose. These are the highest yields of liamocins that we have found thus far. These strains also produced from 9.4 to 17 g pullulan/l. The structural identity of liamocins was confirmed by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry; differential spectra were obtained in which the dominant ion was either at about m/z 805.5 or m/z 949.6, consistent with the structure of liamocins. Liamocins from A. pullulans strains RSU 9 and RSU 21 inhibited two human breast cancer cell lines and a human cervical cancer cell line (IC₅₀ values of 32.2 ± 1.4 to 63.1 ± 2.4 μg liamocins/ml) but were not toxic to a normal cell line. Liamocins weakly inhibited a strain of Enterococcus faecalis, but did not inhibit strains of Lactobacillus fermentum, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Thus, A. pullulans phylogenetic clade 11 is a promising source of liamocins, and these compounds merit further examination as potential anticancer agents.     

Endophytic fungi from Musa acuminata leaves and roots in South China

One hundred and sixty-three endophytic fungal cultures were isolated from 200 leaf samples of Musa acuminata trees, which were soaked in 36% formaldehyde solution for surface sterilization. They belonged to the genera of Gloeosporium musae (45%), Myxosporium spp. (11%), Deightoniella torulosa (8.5%), Alternaria tenuis (7.9%), Sphaceloma spp. (7.4%), Aureobasidium spp. (4.3%), Melida spp. (1.8%), Uncinula spp. (1.8%), Penicillium spp. (1.8%), Aspergillus spp. (1.2%), Sarcinella spp. (1.2%), Cladosporium sp. (0.6%), Cephalosporium sp. (0.6%) and sterile mycelium (6.7%). Sixty-eight endophytic fungal cultures were isolated from 100 root samples. They respectively belonged to the genera of Aspergillus spp. (31%), Paecilomyces spp. (16%), Penicillium spp. (15%), Fusarium spp. (10%), Gloeosporium musae (6%), yeast (3%), Deightoniella torulosa (3%), Spicaria sp. (1.4%), Cephalosporrium sp. (1.4%), Meliola sp. (1.4%) and sterile mycelium (10%). Water agar (containing 50 g chloramphenicol ml^–1 and 50 g streptomycin ml^–1) seemed to be a better medium for isolation of endophytic fungi than potato-dextrose agar (PDA, containing 50 g chloramphenicol ml^–1 and 50 g streptomycin ml^–1).

Distinction of species in Aureobasidium and related genera by PCR-ribotyping

Taxonomic markers for differentiation of the anamorph genera Aureobasidium, Hormonema and Kabatiella were developed using PCR-ribotyping with the primers 5.8S-R and LR7 for amplification and the restriction enzymes Alul, DdeI, Hhal, MspI and RsaI for digestion. Aureobasidium and Hormonema are optimally differentiated with MspI; DdeI is particularly useful to distinguish aureobasidium, Kabatiella and Selenophoma. Relationships of the anamorph genera Aureobasidium, Hormoneng and Kabatiella with the teleomorph genera Pringsheimia and Dothiora are discussed.     

Use of Ethylene-Producing Bacteria for Stimulation of Striga spp. Seed Germination

Striga spp. are obligate root-parasitic flowering plants that threaten cereal and legume production, and consequently human well-being, in Africa. Successful control depends on eliminating the seed reserves of Striga spp. in soil and preventing parasitism. A proven method of eliminating these seed reserves is soil-injection of ethylene gas. This method was used successfully in the United States to control Striga asiatica, but injection of ethylene gas is potentially dangerous, very costly, and generally unsuitable in Africa. The bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pathovar glycinea synthesizes relatively large amounts of ethylene. In this study a laboratory procedure was developed for testing strains of P. syringae pv. glycinea for efficacy in stimulating germination of seeds of Striga spp. The procedure allows comparisons among bacteria, volatile compounds, root exudates, and synthetic stimulants for germination of Striga spp. seeds. Seeds of three Striga spp. were tested over a 10-month period. No seed germination was ever observed with sterile water. When compared across Striga spp. the bacterial strains were consistently better stimulators of germination of seeds of the parasites than ethylene gas or root pieces of a Vigna unguiculata cultivar known to stimulate germination of parasite seeds. The strains were as effective in germinating S. aspera and S. gesnerioides seeds as a synthetic germination stimulant. Our results showing that ethylene-producing bacteria are highly effective in promoting seed germination in Striga spp. suggest that these bacteria may provide a practical means of biological control of Striga spp. in Africa and other locations.     

甘油影响红曲菌产色素的碳源选择性探究

红曲菌(Monascus spp.)是我国重要的药食同源微生物,红曲色素(Monascus pigments,MPs)是其主要次级代谢产物之一。有研究表明,甘油可促进红曲菌产MPs,但作用机制不明。以丛毛红曲菌(Monascus pilosus)MS-1为实验菌株,考察甘油与葡萄糖或蔗糖复合对红曲菌产MPs的影响。在不含碳源的合成培养基中,将甘油与葡萄糖或蔗糖复合,采用分光光度法和高效液相色谱法等分析MPs的产量和组分、生物量及发酵液pH。当甘油与葡萄糖复合,添加甘油后发酵液pH、生物量无显著变化(P0.05),总色价显著降低(P0.05)。当2 g/L或40 g/L甘油与蔗糖复合,发酵液pH显著降低而生物量及总色价显著增加(P0.05)。当40 g/L甘油与蔗糖复合时,总色价是仅以蔗糖为碳源时的16.5倍,且MPs同系物数量明显增多(P0.05)。在合成培养基条件下,甘油促进红曲菌产MPs具有碳源种类的选择性。该结果可为研究甘油影响红曲菌产MPs的作用机制提供参考,为甘油用于MPs生产提供依据。
